Odisha hospitals and medical colleges have been asked to install credit and debit card swipe machines, following the demonetisation move.
The state government yesterday (26 November) asked the district collectors to facilitate installation of the card swipe machines in different health institutions for smooth transactions.
"In order to facilitate cashless transactions in different health facilities, it is necessary to procure and install credit/debit card readers at the payment counter in different health institutions," said the health secretary.
